The service uses Volvo's On Call app to locate your car, and assigns the delivery driver a one-use digital key, enabling them to open your vehicle up (but not to drive it off). You even get a text message to let you know that your order's been delivered.

Volvo reckons that up to 60 per cent of online shoppers have problems receiving the goods they've ordered; services like Amazon have tried various ways of getting around the problem, including lockers in local shops and even pie-in-the-sky drone delivery schemes.

Volvo's solution seems an elegant one – and it's certainly more convenient for the customer. But whether people will be happy handing the keys to their car over to a stranger – even if they're only digital ones – is up for debate.
